In Tanzania's cashew belt, something extraordinary happened. Women farmers refused to remain invisible. They built cooperatives, demanded fair prices, and created an enterprise that now reaches markets across Europe, Asia and the Americas.
In the cashew-rich districts of Mkuranga and Rufiji, a group of women farmers made a decision that changed everything. They had spent years doing the hardest work — planting, harvesting, hauling — while others captured the value of their labour. They formed a cooperative. They demanded processing rights. They built Korosho Group — not as a company, but as a movement.
Today that movement produces export-grade cashew kernels for global markets, provides income security for over 21,000 family members, and serves as one of East Africa's most compelling models for women-led agricultural enterprise.
Every operation at Korosho Group is designed to advance measurable outcomes across seven of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals — making us an evidence-based deployment vehicle for development capital.
